Lenae's Blogged Baby Shower {Day One}

Welcome, and thank you for stopping by! As I already mentioned my blog will be all baby socks, teeny tiny diapers, and labor stories this weekend as we celebrate Lenae and Ben's newest and girliest addition.

I have chosen to spend 3 full days showering Lenae with love and happiness because honestly that's just what she deserves. Lenae is an amazing mother, wife, crafter, writer, and friend. She sews amazing things like this, this and this. Her blog gives me daily inspiration and encouragement to be a better mom, wife and all around person.

Here is the beautiful Lenae, almost there!

Here are the proud parents in front of their beautiful home, nice digs right?

Just kidding, but they do live in the same town, practically neighbors I'd say...

Here are the very proud big brothers...

...and here is the star of the show!

now grab a few of these and let's get started

As with any baby shower I think we should all get to know each other better,

so let's introduce ourselves and then play a game shall we?

First, tell us all about yourself and how you met Leane and her family by writing your own post and joining the link party below. If all that seems too much then simply leave it in the comment space below.

Now for the game, Who dosen't love a Mad-Lib?

Because I'm really not that skilled with technology I'm going to make you do this the old fashioned way, sorry.
Copy and paste the game into your own post about how you met Lenae, then add your post to the link below. You may also do them separately in 2 posts if you'd like.

I *met* Lenae almost a year ago in the Blogosphere. I feel blessed to be able to read about her sweet family and I'm always amazed at her wisdon, especially for such a youngin' :) I'm looking forward to reading about her upcoming birth and baby Quinn. I'll be praying for her!

Sorry, I didn't have a link to post the madlib on! I hope that will suffice! I met Lenae 7 years ago at a very unique place (with very unique people, I might add) called DLI. She was crafty back then! I remember when she first started sewing, to place her newly promoted rank on her sleeves. She and I went through our best and worst times there together, and I am so excited to see the same person who would be so jittery about going on her first date with Ben, to being by her side at her wedding, spread love to her growing family. I can't wait to see darling Quinn!

sorry i didn't have a post for lenae--- i have had a hard week, but i definitely wanted to swing by and show my support for lenae. i think she is just darling and obviously so are you for doing this for her!

Ha! I like it... Quinn Rug Ross! It flows nicely! :) Thanks for hosting this! I can't wait to "meet" baby Quinn. (and hear all about the special moment when Ben pats her knuckle...) She is such a blessed little one already, having Lenae as her mama. :) I met Lenae maybe a year and a half ago through blogging. Although I've never met her, I consider her a friend that always, ALWAYS encourages and lifts me up. I'm so glad that I have her to "talk" to and pray I can meet her in person some day! :)

Lenae and I went to high school together, but never really took the time to become close friends. Years later after we grew up, got married, and started having children we rekindled our friendship. I often regret that I did not get to know Lenae better when we lived only 2 towns apart, rather than having the entire nation between us. Fortunately here in Blogland we get to be neighbors and have ample opportunities to share our silly stories and special moments.

I met Lenae through the wonderful world of blogs, and I'm so happy that I did! She is sweet and hilarious and I probably won't kidnap her whole family and insist that they be my next door neighbors, but it would be awesome!

I met Lenae when we were both in the Air Force. We had both just arrived at DLI and were assigned to casuals. Well, one day while pretending to sweep the far hallway (for 3 hours-come on who believes it is that dirty :) we both sat down and I proceeded to tell her my life story and in two seconds we were bosom buddies and life-long friends! We both snagged our amazing husbands while at DLI ;) and later got married on the same day-hey it was a four-day and we were in training status :) Later we moved to Georgia and the bacon bits began to arrive: first Gabriel-who inspired Nick and I to have a little bundle of our own-then Eli was born(who was supposed to be named Noah, but for some reason they changed it at the last minute. Then they were lucky enough to have a third little boy, so Noah was finally used :) Sadly, we had to move away before he was born, but I have been able to see him grow like a weed through the wonderful pictures Lenae sends! Keep 'em coming girl! And now it is pink and everything lovely while you await your little Quinn! Can't wait to see who she looks like :)
